What a wonderful day it was for our June 15, 2009, Shop Hop! Kudos to Michaele J. and Kerry D. for their work organizing this trip! Thanks, also, to the four shops which welcomed us so nicely. Most of us thought we would go back to visit these shops on our own. We just wish the discounts (up to 25% on regularly-priced items and fabric) offered to us on this shopping trip would still be in effect!
Stores on the Shop Hop:
Quilt 'N Sew Studio, 829 So. Mason Rd., Suite 224, Katy, TX 77450
Quilters Cottage, 920 FM 359 Rd., Richmond, TX 77406
Quilter's Emporium, 11925 Southwest Freeway, Suite 11, Stafford, TX 77477
Quiltworks, 250 NW Freeway (at Skinner Rd.), Cypress, TX 77429
Quilt 'N Sew Studio was our first stop. They had many people available to cut fabric at several locations in the shop, which was especially wonderful.
Quilters Cottage was the second stop. You cannot imagine the extent of this shop from the front...several buildings are connected together! They had a great selection on sale, too.
A definite advantage of shopping with other quilters is the advice you can seek from them. Folks at the shops were good about offering that kind of help, too.
Quilter's Emporium didn't allow additional photos. We were grateful that they allowed us to eat lunch in their classroom. Some also ate on the bus.
Quiltworks was the fourth and last stop. It was HUGE with the largest classroom we had ever seen. One of the co-owners (three sisters) demonstrated silk ribbon sewing on pin cushions.
Lynn T. found a major project, and we can't wait to see it!
Creations Quilt Shop in Kerrville, TX, was an absolute delight! Here are some photos of the variety which Anne P. found on 9/19/10:

Next to this shop with its wide variety of quilting and craft features, the two sister-owners (Kathy and Julie) are building a retreat center which will be able to serve up to 24 folks with dormitory, sewing, and presentation rooms. Food in Kerrville is fantastic, so they aren't planning to cook or serve meals there. |
Creations has felted wool fat quarters, as well as many examples of how to use wool/felted wool. The variety is enticing! |

Raingear patterns and fabrics were featured here. |
This was just one of many rooms of fabric. |
Books and magazines, as well as cards were located in one room. |
A vast variety of threads were offered in another room. |
 |
 |
Notions filled another room. Right, one of Anne's most pleasant discoveries...backing which was interesting at a reasonable price! |
 |
The store is located at 1137 W. Hwy. 76, closer to Hwy. 65 than downtown Branson. |
This is the view as you enter the store. Many cutting tables (see below, left) and the cash register are to the right. |
 |
There are many made-in-the-USA quilts for sale. Ladies from the Ozarks have done beautiful work! Also, there is a section of quilts created abroad. |
This is the close-out sale corner with MANY bolts of fabric. |

Fats quarters (above) are grouped together, as are patterns and books. Right, there is an extensive grouping of novelty/specialty fabrics. Below, stencils for quilting. |

Quilts and Quilts Country Store in Branson, Missouri, is pure joy for any visiting quilter...or for those seeking quality handmade quilts to purchase! Co-managed by Lacey Colbert and her mother, Cindy DeMeyer, the store has been in business for 27 years, and their employees have a combined 85 years of experience in quilting. Quilts and Quilts Country Store features over 10,000 bolts of fabric (including fabric for babies, novelty/specialty, etc.), 2500 patterns, and 2000 books. They also carry the AccuCutter in two sizes. Around the walls, they have sample quilts (NFS) to illustrate several patterns, and they will pull fabrics of your color choice to make any quilt. If desired, they have several ladies in the Ozarks to handmake your quilt. The handmade quilts on display for sale are of exemplary quality, too.
